After their team up in the 1992 sports romantic comedy The Cutting Edge,the reunion between D.B.Sweeney and Moira Kelly finally happened after 14 years in this movie entitled,"Two Tickets To Paradise". The story revolves around three life-long friends in their 40's that are in search for themselves as they face problems of their own.Mark has developed a serious gambling problem that is beginning to affect his marriage.McGriff cannot let go of his dream of becoming a famous rock star despite having a supportive and beautiful but unfaithful spouse.Finally,Jason refuse to mature and still lives with his parents.This made them go to a trip together and try in search for life answers that will help them find answers in life.This film written and directed by D.B. Sweeney was basically satisfactory movie that had great moments but never got into a satisfying whole.Too bad that D.B. Sweeney's reunion with Moira Kelly did not result into a good film similar to The Cutting Edge.They barely had scenes together and Moira was barely a presence.Nevertheless,it will still manage to provide good entertainment especially to those who love coming of age films.Added to that,it will be appreciated by those who are experiencing difficulties and want to see a movie that will give them hope amidst life's difficulties.

Totally loved this movie. Excellent acting all around and the directing was great. Not only is DB Sweeney an incredible actor but he is a very talented writer and Director as well. I recommend this movie to all movie goers. A real gem especially for a low budget film. Great job DB. Mr Sweeney is also a super nice guy to his fans. The premise of this film is a great story and most guys should love this movie. It was really great to see DB reunite with Moira Kelly. They have great chemistry on screen. They were so good together in THE CUTTING EDGE. You cant go wrong in a movie when you have the awesome John C. McGinley and Ed Harris. In my opinion two of the greatest actors of all time.

It made me laugh right away. It is great film about the strange way life happens. Maybe it hit a cord with me. I think everyone should give this film a chance. You will find something in it that relates to you."I never wanted to be called a good loser,Show me a good loser and I'll just show you a loser"This was a good comedy, that did not have to resort to gross out gags.Directors today just do not take the time to really craft a movie.The darts, Moira Kelly even makes an appearance! It was great to see them together all these years after the Cutting Edge! John C. McGinley's has always been funny but he shines in this film!I say thank you DB Sweeney, the cast and the crew!

Loved this movie! I felt like I knew these guys from my hometown. Great music: Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Dire Straits, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Emmy Lou Harris...amazing movie. As a woman (Mom of four...)I felt like a 'fly on the wall' in the car with these guys. You really feel like you're a witness to a critical moment in three real lives. With that said, it's also hilarious. Some really memorable one-liners. D.B. Sweeney is an under rated actor: movies like Fire in the Sky, Eight Men Out, Lonesome Dove and of course The Cutting Edge. This may be his best ever. Why doesn't Hollywood use this guy more?! I hope they release this one soon soon. Really funny and touching, too. I want to see it again!!
